Somenos Transition House - Emergency Shelter

Provided by Cowichan Women Against Violence

Transitional housing for women (with and without children) who have experienced, or at risk of experiencing, violence and abuse.
Somenos Transition House provides free and confidential emergency short-term shelter and support services for women with or without children who are needing safety from abuse or violence. Counsellors are also available 24/7 to help you make the next step.

You can self-refer, or be referred by someone who wants to help - a friend, social worker, family member, coworker, police, etc. For more information, including the location, contact Somenos staff at 250-748-8544 or by email at somenos.house@cwav.org. Staff will discuss individual situations and about services available at the house to determine if Somenos House is the right resource for you. Sometimes the first phone call may result in arranging a time and safe place in the community to discuss options further. If Somenos cannot accommodate someone, they work to identify another option(s). If the individual is unsure about what to do and just want to talk about what is happening in the relationship, Somenos is just a call away when needed.
